Can b12 shots cause weight gain?
My cousin started taking B12 shots for her energy levels. She mentioned she's gained a bit of weight since starting them. Can B12 shots actually lead to weight gain for some people?

I recently started taking B12 injections and I feel like my weight is creeping up. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm worried if it's the shots or if I'm just overthinking it, please let me know if you felt the same.
For low energy, I always believe in warm milk with a pinch of turmeric and eating soaked almonds. While B12 shots shouldn't cause weight gain, if you notice sudden swelling in your feet or shortness of breath, please don't wait. Go see your doctor immediately.
Actually, B12 shots don't have calories to make you gain fat, yaar. But what happens is, your energy levels shoot up and your appetite finally returns to normal, so you might end up eating a bit more. It's just your body recovering from the deficiency.
I completely understand how stressful it is to watch the scale go up when you are just trying to get healthy. It used to make me panic too. Just remember that B12 is water-soluble, so the shots themselves aren't building fat; it might just be your body adjusting its water balance.
I know how hard it is when you're already struggling with your health and then you start worrying about weight gain from your treatment. It feels like a constant battle. But please be gentle with yourself; getting your nervous system healthy with B12 is much more important right now.

With my PCOS, any weight change makes me really cautious. From what I've learned, B12 injections don't directly cause weight gain, but they can improve your metabolism and hunger. It's always best to discuss any sudden weight changes with your doctor to rule out hormonal fluctuations.
I took B12 shots for three months. I did notice a slight increase in my weight, but it was purely because my severe fatigue went away and my appetite came back. My advice is to keep tracking your daily food intake and stay active, and you will manage it easily.
